35° TORINO FILM FESTIVAL
TFFDOC/INTERNAZIONALE

VA, TOTO!

GO, TOTO!
by Pierre Creton
Country: France
Year: 2017
Duration: 94'


The arrival of Toto the boar piglet at Madeleine’s place; Vincent’s trip through India and his problems with monkeys; the dreams Joseph has thanks to his sleep apnea machine: these are the tales that Pierre shares with us, tales that summon up, in one way or another, our relations with animals – our other neighbors.

Biography

film director

Pierre Creton

Pierre Creton (France, 1966) is a filmmaker and a farmer who lives and works in
Vattetot-sur-Mer (Seine Maritime). He studied at Villa Arson, in Nice, and at the École des beaux-arts in Le Havre, after which he decided to move to Caux and concentrate on farming. To Creton, choosing a profession which is usually considered at the bottom of the social ladder represented his desire to take things as they come; and ever since 1992, when he also began to work as a director, it has also given him subjects for his stories. His movies have been presented at various festivals, including FIDMarseille, where in 2008 L’heure du berger won the Grand Prix in the French competition.

Declaration

film director

“People do everything they can to separate themselves from animals. Something nice which happens in India, at Shimla, is that there is no separation between the territory of the monkeys and that of people, or at least it’s very indistinct. Often, you don’t know which territory you are in. The other world we are shown might be a dream world. And so this film, above and beyond Joseph’s dreams, took on a dreamlike touch of its own during editing.”
